In the dilemma of illness, how should you and your loved ones choose?
Cachexia
The word comes from the Greek words "kakos" and "hexis", which literally means "bad condition". It can be seen in a variety of diseases, including tumors, AIDS, severe trauma, post-surgery, malabsorption and severe sepsis.
It is a tumor that changes the body's metabolism through various channels, making the body unable to absorb nutrients from the outside world. The tumor takes nutrients from the body's inherent fat and protein to build itself. Therefore, the body loses a large amount of nutrients, especially essential amino acids and vitamins (formed by the decomposition of fat and protein). The oxidation process in the body is weakened, incomplete oxidation products accumulate, and nutrients cannot be fully utilized, resulting in a state of wasteful metabolism, insufficient calories, and in turn causing loss of appetite. The patient can only eat a small amount or cannot eat at all, is extremely emaciated, skinny and bones, leaving only the skeleton, shaped like a skeleton, anemia, weakness, completely bedridden, unable to take care of himself, extreme pain, systemic failure and other syndromes.
